Technical Abstract

Provided is an information processing device coupled to a device which a user operates with a hand of the user and on the surface of which a plurality of sensors that each output information associated with a spatial positional relation with the surface of the hand of the user are arranged, the information processing device being configured to receive output from each of the sensors included in the device and generate an image in which an image element having been drawn with a pixel value determined on the basis of a value represented by the output from each of the sensors is arranged at a position corresponding to a position at which each of the sensors is arranged, on a mapping space obtained by plane-unfolding a portion that constitutes the surface of the device and on which the sensors are arranged, Further, the information processing device is configured to, upon receipt of input of the generated image, estimate information associated with the position of each of joints of the hand of the user who operates the device and output the estimated information as coordinate information in a three-dimensional space whose origin is placed on a point that moves with the device.
